Eating grapes is generally acceptable for skin itchiness. Grapes have a neutral nature and a sweet-sour taste. They are rich in glucose and fruit acids, and contain potassium, iron, phosphorus, calcium, and other trace elements as well as an abundance of vitamins. Traditional Chinese Medicine states that grapes have effects such as replenishing qi and blood, strengthening muscles and bones, generating seminal fluid, enhancing spleen and appetite, and promoting diuresis and reducing swelling. Clinically, there are very few cases of grape consumption causing allergic skin itchiness.

Can you eat fish and eggs if you have itchy skin?

Skin itching generally means that you should not eat fish and eggs. There are many reasons for skin itching, which are usually related to dry climate, humid air, excessive stress, and autoimmune diseases. Furthermore, consuming foods that are likely to cause allergies, such as beef, mutton, seafood, fish, shrimp, crab, etc., are also related. Therefore, when experiencing skin itching, you should try to have a light diet, eat plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins, drink more water, avoid spicy and irritant foods, abstain from alcohol, and avoid eating chili peppers, etc. Egg juice contains heterologous proteins, and the strong smell of fish can also exacerbate allergy symptoms, so it is not recommended to eat certain types of fish or seafood. If you experience skin itching, it is advisable to visit the dermatology department of a local reputable hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

During the postpartum breastfeeding period, some mothers may experience skin itching, which mainly depends on the cause.

What should I do if I have itchy skin?

If you experience itchy skin, it is advisable to visit a hospital to determine the cause. Some cases of skin itchiness are caused by internal diseases such as thyroid disorders, renal insufficiency, diabetes, and cholestasis. Other cases may be due to conditions like eczema, urticaria, or papular urticaria. If the skin itchiness is not accompanied by other unusual symptoms, it may be considered pruritus. Treatment should be under the guidance of a doctor, using antiallergic medications such as loratadine tablets, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets, and mizolastine tablets. For conditions like eczema and papular urticaria, as well as drug-related dermatitis, topical antipruritic medications like mometasone furoate gel and Lushengshi wash can be applied. These should be used in conjunction with oral antiallergic drugs. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor.)
